The 1970s were a complex, multilayered, and critical part of a long era of profound
societal change. This book explores the distinctiveness of those years, a time when
radicals tried to change the world as the world changed around them. This powerful
collection is a compelling assessment of left-wing social movements in a period many
have described as dominated by conservatism or confusion. Scholars examine critical
and largely buried legacies of the 1970s. The decade of Nixon's fall and Reagan's
rise also saw widespread indigenous militancy, prisoner uprisings, transnational campaigns
for self-determination, pacifism, and queer theories of play as political action.
Contributors focus on diverse topics, including the internationalization of Black
Power and Native sovereignty, organizing for Puerto Rican independence among Latinos
and whites, and women's self-defense. Essays and ideas trace the roots of struggles
from the 1960s through the 1970s, providing fascinating insight into the myriad ways
that radical social movements shaped American political culture in the 1970s and the
many ways they continue to do so today
